Flower Children - Nature Sprites of a Bygone Day,
By Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild Flower Children (Hardcover)
Originally published in 1918, this beautiful picture book is filled with sweet little flower children that look a lot like fairies but of course they are only "playmates of the fairies" so they don't always have wings. They are dressed in the most charming Victorian costumes including lace petticoats, bonnets, pinnafores, spats, and waistcoats. Each one represents a wild flower, rendered in satisfying detail by this talented illustrator and accompanied by a nostalgic little poem. The flowers are identified by their Latin names as well as their often quaint and colorful folk names such as Frostweed, Virgin's Bower, Pearly Everlasting, Baby Blue Eyes and Gold Thread.I love this book and the other three by the same writer, Bird Children, Flower Children, and Mother Earth's Children. I'm so glad they are back in print and I know they will delight anyone who believes in fairies.

Just Like the Original Edition,

This review is from: Wild Flower Children (Hardcover)
I originally bought loose sheets of this book from an antique dealer many
years ago. This new edition is very true to the original. The colors and crispness of the illustrations are very close to the old pages I have. I also purchased her other nature books and was happy with each one.

BAD PICTURES,
By Jillian "autumnbow" (Walnut Creek, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild Flower Children (Hardcover)
THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE WORST FAIRIE BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. NOT ONLY IS THE WRITING HORRIBLE, BUT SO ARE THE PICTURES.
